7/10, I think abomination tropes are always pretty cool but I prefer the other varieties for their sheer alienness.

8/10 In works where they fit tonally I usually find them rather charming and interesting to look at, especially if they repurpose everyday objects in creative ways in their design.

Manly Tears.

10/10 Tradionally masculine men can and should cry if they want to. Gives a good message.

Bad People Abuse Animals

6/10. I find it very hard to watch humans abusing animals, even if it's fictional, but I have to give the trope some credit since the whole point of it is to show that these characters are bad.

Hypercompetent Sidekick

6/10. Generally cool in and of themselves, though if they're a sidekick to someone who's too incompetent, that part can get frustrating.

8/10. Usually generic for some, but I love it when you can twist it into something hilarious.

3/10 if the villain in question is a really awful person, but 7/10 if he's an Anti-Villain who kills someone much worse.

6/10. Can be an interesting motive, but characters like this often come across as strawmen to me.

9/10 for comedies, 2/10 everywhere else. I like my characters to be smart in serious things.

3/10. I don't like seeing blood most of the time, and if the point of it is to be scary, Slasher Smile does that better anyway.

9/10 lends itself for equally hype and heartwarming moments and great teachers deserve all the respect.

7/10. It creates a fun contrast between the two identities and is a good source of conflict, long as it's not too contrived.

6/10, it can be fun but it often feels a little too contrived for my tastes, unless all the tasks were designed specifically to test certain members.

8/10 can be fun subplot/background thing with time traveling characters.

7/10. Mental illness is a touchy subject, especially for villains. That being said, there are so many ways to tackle 'grown adult acts like a child to a terrifying degree' that they tend to work for me.

8/10

It's pretty neat but immediately a bit overused way to show Troubling Unchildlike Behavior.

5/10 if I was into fairy tales, I'd probably like it more, but overall neutral.

5/10. Mostly neutral, but I recall seeing several examples of this trope that I didn't like. It often feels like a cheap way to make a new character look strong before they've "earned" it, if that makes sense.

5/10 If just a mindless zombie since Im not particulary fond of those, but they at least have the potential for a very striking design. 8/10 If they still remain intelligent, like I prefer dragons and undead to be portraied.

7/10 Easy way to create interesting conflict, especially if they are in a situation that might usually require some kind of violence.
